We've developed a simple WPF UserControl which is a ChartLine that is usually supposed to display 512 values in a range of -100 to 100.
The chart works, however, the chart needs to have its values cleared and updated every 1 second and it is taking over a second (1.4~~seconds) to simply render all of its values.
After this frustrated attempt, I tried to use old DynamicDataDisplay (D3) from Microsoft which is supposed to be faster, but the performance impact was quite the same, also taking more than a second to update the 512 values on the screen.
Below is my code, I do believe there may be some caching technique, lower bitmap resolution or something to help achieve my goal.

To test the graph in the conditions I'd like you can simply instantiate`
private OsciloscopeGraphic graphicOscNormal = new OsciloscopeGraphic()
{
MinHorizontal = 0,
MaxHorizontal = 255,
MinVertical = -100,
MaxVertical = 100
};
and inside a timer you may call `graphicOscNormal.UpdateGraphValues() ` which will furfill the graphic with random values for testing purposes.
Later these values will come from serial port which is already implemented.
NOTE: I've also tried to replace the high level PolyLine for DrawingVisual and DrawingContext.DrawLine, BUT the performance has NOT changed!
NOTE2: I'm using C#/WPF and .NET 4.0 (VS 2010).
Thanks in advanced, Luís.
The (biggest) problem is your random number generator - it is extremely inefficient. Try :
private Random ran = new Random(0);
private List<int> GetRandomValues()
{
int quantidade = this.Quantidade;
List<int> lsValues = new List<int>(quantidade);
for (int i = 0; i < quantidade; i++)
{
int randomValue = ran.Next(this.MinVertical, this.MaxVertical);
lsValues.Add(randomValue);
}
return lsValues;
}
When optimizing, it pays to profile.
If you want really, really fast rendering then you almost have to go back to GDI. For example - update your Canvas (cnvChart) to use this FastCanvas :

this.GDIGraphics = GetGdiGraphics(MapViewPointer);

gdiGraphics.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighSpeed;

}
}
and change your DrawLine as :
private void DrawLine(List<int> p_values, SolidColorBrush cor)
{
double stepHorizontal = cnvChart.ActualWidth / ((this.MaxHorizontal - this.MinHorizontal) + 1);
double stepVertical = cnvChart.ActualHeight / ((this.MaxVertical - this.MinVertical) + 1);
List<Point> pts = new List<Point>();
for (int i = 0; i < p_values.Count; i++)
{
int val = p_values[i];
double x = (stepHorizontal * i);
double y = cnvChart.ActualHeight - ((val - this.MinVertical) * stepVertical);
pts.Add(new Point(x,y));
}
FastCanvas.ScopeLine newLine;
newLine.lineBrush = cor;
newLine.linePoints = pts;
cnvChart.Lines.Add(newLine);
}
and UpdateValues to :
public void UpdateGraphValues(List<int> p_frontValues, List<int> p_backValues)
{
cnvChart.Lines.Clear();
DrawLineGreen(p_frontValues);
DrawLineLightBlue(p_backValues);
cnvChart.InvalidateVisual();
}
Using GDI like this the same graph can update in real time (easily > 30fps for 512 points) as compared to about 5-7fps using WPF rendering.
First thing you can do in order to improve performance is replacing all Labels with TextBlocks. TextBlocks are drawn much faster! Freeze all freezables (custom Brushes for example) as is described HERE. Maybe THIS, THIS and THIS can help too, these are threads about Polyline optimization. I hope i helped:)

I have a widget made up of 2 TextViews, 2 ImageViews, and 2 TextClocks. I am trying to update the widget using a ScreenListener (code below) and an alarm. I want all views to update when the screen is turned On. Also, a repeating alarm is set when the screen is turned On. The alarm is used to trigger the update of the battery level indicator (an ImageView). The image for the battery level indicator is generated using the ProgressRing (code below). The alarm is cancelled when the screen is turned Off. The TextClocks take care of themselves.
Everything works when debugging using the emulator or my phone. The various components update when I turn the screen On and Off. However, when I install the widget on my phone, the widget stops updating after a period of time. Initially, I can turn the screen On and Off and everything updates. And, I can plug (or unplug) the phone and the alarm will update the battery level indicator. But, after some period of time (I think with the screen Off), updating stops. Turning the screen On no longer updates anything and, I beleive, the alarm is no longer set. (Note: The TextClock continue to work and show the correct time.)
When debugging, I have seen the instances of the ScreenLister and ProgressRing become null. So, I've included checks for this and make new instances when it happens. This doesn't seem like the right solution. Should this be occurring?
Is the system killing my widget? Is there a way around this, if so? Is my AppWidgetProvider somehow losing it's connection to the RemoteViews?
Thanks for any help. And, let me know if you need more information.
P.S. I'm currently building for Android 9.0. And, I'm new to Android programming.

Im using WinForms. In my Form i have a picturebox and a next button. I use this picturebox to display tiff images and i use the next button to navigate to the next page. The tiff documents are multipage images. The document I'm trying to view has a horizontal images and a vertical images like the example below. If its horizontal i want to size it (1100, 800), but if its vertical i want to size it (800, 1100). How do i do this? currently this is what i have but its not a good solution.
System.Drawing.Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(path_lbl.Text);
if (img.Height > img.Width)
{
pictureBox1.Width = 800;
pictureBox1.Height = 1300;
}
else
{
pictureBox1.Width = 1300;
pictureBox1.Height = 800;
}
I currently use this approach but this doesn't work because if the first image is vertical the if-statement will always execute the first condition pictureBox1.size(1300 , 800); With this method, if the next image is horizontal the condition will not ever re-size it horizontally.

I'm writing a console application that needs user input on the bottom line while text is scrolling. The idea is to have text scroll and leave an input line at the bottom. I want text editing functionality (arrow-keys, insert, delete, etc). I'd love to be able to have static "status lines" too (lines unaffected by scrolling).
A real world example would be Irssi:
In my code I'm hooking up to NLog and writing its output to screen while also providing an input line to the user. It is done by "pausing input" on write: using Console.MoveBufferArea to move text up, disabling cursor, repositioning cursor, writing log-text, repositioning cursor back to input line and enabling cursor. It almost works, but there are some problems:
It is very slow. In cases where I write 20-30 lines the application slows down considerably. (Can be solved with buffering incoming, but won't solve scroll speed.)
Lines that overflow (i.e. exception stacktrace) leaves a line at the very bottom of the screen.
Lines that overflow are (partially) overwritten as text scrolls up. This also messes up input line.
Scrolling up/down does not work.
Is there a library to help me do this?
If not then how do I fix speed? How do I fix scrolling?
Cross platform solution preferred.

Doing further research into text console in Windows I seems it is difficult to make it go faster. Through a custom implementation with lower redraw rates (less to WriteConsoleOutput) I was able to get just over 10x speed increase over Console.WriteLine.
However since Console.WriteLine enforces the "scroll everything when we reach bottom" I was using Console.MoveBufferArea. Tests shows that my implementation of MoveBufferArea (included in my original question) was around 90x slower than Console.WriteLine. With my new implementation using WriteConsoleOutput I was however able to get a 1356x speed increase over MoveBufferedArea.
Since it was a bit difficult to find information about it I have detailed my finding in a blog post. I'm also attaching the code to this answer for posterity.
I have written a class that allows me to scroll individual boxes. I have also implemented a line input system to emulate that of standard Console.ReadLine();. Note that this implementation is missing home/end-support (easy to fix though).
Note that to get any speed increase from it you have to set box.AutoRedraw = false; and manually call box.Draw(); regularly. With box.AutoRedraw = true; (calling Draw() on every Write()) this solution is actually 30 times slower than Console.WriteLine and 3 times faster than MoveBufferArea.
Example on how to use:
_logBox = new InputConsoleBox(0, 0, (short)Console.BufferWidth, (short)(Console.BufferHeight - 2), InputConsoleBox.Colors.LightWhite, InputConsoleBox.Colors.Black);
_statusBox = new InputConsoleBox(0, (short)(Console.BufferHeight - 3), (short)Console.BufferWidth, 1, InputConsoleBox.Colors.LightYellow, InputConsoleBox.Colors.DarkBlue);
_inputBox = new InputConsoleBox(0, (short)(Console.BufferHeight - 2), (short)Console.BufferWidth, 1, InputConsoleBox.Colors.LightYellow, InputConsoleBox.Colors.Black);
_statusBox.WriteLine("Hey there!");
_inputBox.InputPrompt = "Command: ";
// If you are okay with some slight flickering this is an easy way to set up a refresh timer
_logBox.AutoDraw = false;
_redrawTask = Task.Factory.StartNew(async () =>
{
while (true)
{
await Task.Delay(100);
if (_logBox.IsDirty)
_logBox.Draw();
}
});
// Line input box
var line = _inputBox.ReadLine(); // Blocking while waiting for <enter>

What I need: listbox with textboxes inside, textboxes wraps, and last in row fills remaining space:
|word 1||word 2___|
|word 3___________|
I'm trying to implement this behaviour using that advice. My xaml:
<ListBox ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
ItemsSource="{Binding Tags}"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch">
<ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<controls:WrapPanelLastChildFill />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Text}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
MyWrapPanel (inherits form WrapPanel) code:
protected override Size MeasureOverride(Size constraint)
{
Size curLineSize = new Size();
Size panelSize = new Size(constraint.Width, 0);
UIElementCollection children = base.InternalChildren;
for (int i = 0; i < children.Count; i++)
{
UIElement child = children[i] as UIElement;
child.Measure(constraint);
Size sz = child.DesiredSize;
if (curLineSize.Width + sz.Width > constraint.Width) // new line
{
panelSize.Width = Math.Max(curLineSize.Width, panelSize.Width);
panelSize.Height += curLineSize.Height;
if (i > 0)
{
// change width of prev control here
var lastChildInRow = children[i - 1] as Control;
lastChildInRow.Width = lastChildInRow.ActualWidth + panelSize.Width - curLineSize.Width;
}
curLineSize = sz;
}
else
{
curLineSize.Width += sz.Width;
curLineSize.Height = Math.Max(sz.Height, curLineSize.Height);
}
}
panelSize.Width = Math.Max(curLineSize.Width, panelSize.Width);
panelSize.Height += curLineSize.Height;
return panelSize;
}
Thats work, but in one side only - textbox width never shrinks.
Any help appreciated.

It was misunderstanding where to place width correction. This must be in ArrangeOverride:

double x = 0;
UIElementCollection children = InternalChildren;
for (int i = start; i < end; i++)
{
UIElement child = children[i];
var w = child.DesiredSize.Width;
if (LastChildFill && i == end - 1) // last сhild fills remaining space
{
w = boundsWidth - x;
}
child.Arrange(new Rect(x, y, w, lineSize.Height));
x += w;
}
}
I am creating a UI that will be displaying generated patterns similar to fractals and cellular automation, but they will be continuously generating and automated.
The pixels and pixel colors will be displayed as a grid of squares in a usercontrol. I've already created the usercontrol to display this but since it is constantly calculation at every timer.tick it dramatically slows down the rest of the UI and causes all other elements to stutter.
So I looked into threading and set the "calculating" part in a BackgroundWorker DoWork(), which ultimately didn't end up working out the way I wanted it to. The BackgroundWorker is using data from the main thread (Rectangle[400]), so I had to use Dispatcher.Invoke(new Action(() => { })); which simply defeats the purpose, the program still ran very "stuttery".
So, how can I create a usercontrol...name:display_control entirely on a separate thread and have it appear in another usercontrol...name:unsercontrol1 (Which is running in the main thread), ? Then I could possibly databind the user_input data with the usercontrol1 User_Input_Class instance.
Or, is there a better way to achieve this? Only other way I can think of doing this is to simply create an entirely separate program for the display and share a file containing the user_input data which is very unprofessional.

Ok. Delete all your code and start all over.

public partial class Fractals : Window
{
public Fractals()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataContext = new FractalViewModel();
}
}
ViewModel:
public class FractalViewModel:PropertyChangedBase
{
private ObservableCollection<FractalCell> _cells;
public int Rows { get; set; }
public int Columns { get; set; }
public ObservableCollection<FractalCell> Cells
{
get { return _cells; }
set
{
_cells = value;
OnPropertyChanged("Cells");
}
}
public FractalViewModel()
{
var ctx = TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext();
Task.Factory.StartNew(() => CreateFractalCellsAsync())
.ContinueWith(x => Cells = new ObservableCollection<FractalCell>(x.Result), ctx);
}
private List<FractalCell> CreateFractalCellsAsync()
{
var cells = new List<FractalCell>();
var colors = typeof(Colors).GetProperties().Select(x => (Color)x.GetValue(null, null)).ToList();
var random = new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < 32; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < 32; j++)
{
cells.Add(new FractalCell() { Row = i, Column = j, Color = colors[random.Next(0, colors.Count)] });
}
}
return cells;
}
}
Data Item:
public class FractalCell:PropertyChangedBase
{
public int Row { get; set; }
public int Column { get; set; }
public Color Color { get; set; }
}
PropertyChangedBase class:
public class PropertyChangedBase:INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
PropertyChangedEventHandler handler = PropertyChanged;
if (handler != null)
handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
Result:
Notice how I'm not manipulating any UI elements in procedural code. Everything is done with simple, simple Properties and INotifyPropertyChanged. That's how you program in WPF.
I'm using an ItemsControl with a UniformGrid and a simple DataTemplate for the cells.
The example is generating random colors, but you can get this from whatever data source you like. Notice that the data is completely decoupled from the UI and thus it makes it much easier for you to manipulate your own, simple classes rather than the complex and arcane WPF object model.
It also makes it easier for you to implement a multi-threaded scenario because, again, you are not dealing with the UI, but rather with Data. Remember that the UI can only be manipulated in the UI Thread.
WPF Rocks. Just copy and paste my code in a File -> New Project -> WPF Application and see the results for yourself.
Let me know if you need further help.
